⭐ Reader reviews
Reader rating
Been hunting for a decent copy of this text for ages. Plenty of passages worth underlining; my copy is already full of margin notes. Not a light read, but far more accessible than I feared. Delivery took a bit longer than quoted. Recommended with reservations.
Needed this for my research. Plenty of passages worth underlining; my copy is already full of margin notes. The language takes some getting used to, but it becomes part of the charm. Five stars from me.
Bought this as a gift for my sister and ended up ordering a second copy for myself. The historical context alone makes it worth the price. My only quibble is the cover feels thinner than expected. Good, with the caveats above.
Ordered this after seeing it referenced in another book I was studying. A text you study rather than simply read. One of my better finds this year.
This set offers a unique blend of illustrated oracle cards and a traditional guide to the Inipi ceremony, focusing on introspection rather than divination. While it provides a respectful and visually engaging entry point into Lakota wisdom for those seeking self-discovery, it may not suit readers looking for rigorous academic anthropology or those unfamiliar with esoteric card systems. It is best for individuals open to spiritual metaphors who value cultural respect in their occult reading materials. Those expecting traditional tarot symbolism might find the indigenous imagery distinct but equally potent for personal growth and understanding one’s place in the world.
